HAVING A REUNION THIS YEAR?

In 2010, Project Talent reconnected with participants from the class of 1960 through their 50-year high school reunions. We were able to share information about the project and our plans for the follow-up and to gather updated contact information. If your class is having a reunion, there are two ways you can be involved:

1

Host a Project Talent representative

Project Talent representatives travel the country to share information about the study with participants at their high school reunions. Representatives can make a brief presentation about the study or set up a table with informational materials and be on hand to answer questions. Our priority is to fit in with the format of your reunion. For more information on having a representative visit your reunion, please call (202) 402-6197 or email [email protected].

Be a Project Talent Ambassador

Being a Project Talent reunion Ambassador is easy! As a participant, you are ideally suited to talk to your classmates about Project Talent and to share information about the follow-up study. We will provide you with a kit containing brochures, Project Talent pens, and other Project Talent materials for your classmates, as well as score release forms so your classmates can request their original scores from 1960. We'll even send you a short message from the Project Talent team to read to your classmates at the reunion. For more information on being a Project Talent Ambassador, please call (202) 403-6197 or email [email protected].

Still in touch with old classmates?

Spread the word about Project Talent! You can send your former classmates a virtual postcard inviting them to visit the Project Talent website and register their interest in the project.

You can also volunteer to help track down your classmates or send them information provided, and postage paid, by Project Talent. Please call (202) 403 6197 or email [email protected].

"I remember taking the Project Talent tests in the high school gym over several days. According to my test scores, I did well in math and science. I was encouraged to study these subjects and consider a career in these areas."

"I spent my childhood on a small farm in rural eastern Ohio. Since age 5, following the death of my mother, I was raised with a foster family. Growing up, I was really enthralled by the world of astronomy, science fiction, and the budding space program."
